Exactly what failed
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 1986 Ford Bronco II
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 1986 Ford Bronco II
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 1991021113,833 units in Canada
Engine
THIS RECALL SUPERSEDES RECALL 90-27 FOR VEHICLES IN THE MARITIMES. THE THROTTLE MAY STICK IN AN OPEN POSITION DUE TO LINKAGE BINDING CAUSED BY CORROSION. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO RUN AT HIGHER THAN IDLE SPEED WHEN THE THROTTLE IS RELEASED AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT DRIVER CONTROL RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: A STAINLESS STEEL SLEEVE, WHICH WILL BE PLACED OVER THE HUB ON THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, AND A SECONDARY THROTTLE LEVER TO FIT THE SLEEVE, ALONG WITH OTHER MOUNTING PARTS, WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Recall 199002715,909 units in Canada
Engine
RANGER/BRONCO II - 2.9 LITRE ENGINES TAURUS/SABLE - 3.0 LITRE ENGINES NOTE: VEHICLES LOCATED IN NEWFOUNDLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, NEW BRUNSWICK AND PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. THE THROTTLE MAY STICK IN AN OPEN POSITION DUE TO LINKAGE BINDING CAUSED BY CORROSION. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO RUN AT HIGHER THAN IDLE SPEED WHEN THE THROTTLE IS RELEASED AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT DRIVER CONTROL RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: ON VEHICLES WITH 2.9 LITRE ENGINES, DEALERS WILL CLEAN, MODIFY AND LUBRICATE THE HUB PIN AND LEVER BUSHINGS WITH A MARINE-TYPE ANTI-SEIZE GREASE. ADDITIONALLY, ON VEHICLES WITH 3.0 LITRE ENGINES, THE HUB PIN LEVER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED. NOTE: THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY RECALL NO. 91021.
Recall 19881366,424 units in Canada
Electrical
On certain vehicles, wiring for the power lumbar seat system was routed directly beneath the seat cushion springs on the side of the cushion. This could result in the insulation being abraded by the seat springs resulting in a possible short circuit with the potential for a fire in the cushion pad or trim cover. Correction: Power lumbar seat wiring will be modified and a 15 amp fuse will be added to the wiring under the seat on Aerostars. On Bronco II and Ranger Super Cab vehicles the 30 amp circuit breaker, located in the fuse panel, will be replaced with a 15 amp fuse.
Recall 1987098295,731 units in Canada
Fuel System
ON VEHICLES WITH EFI OR CFI, THE SPRING-LOCK FUEL LINE COUPLING USED TO CONNECT THE FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES TO THE EFI FUEL RAILS OR TO THE CFI THROTTLE BODIES AS WELL AS OTHER FUEL LINE CONNECTIONS NEAR THE DASH PANELS ON SOME VEHICLES, COULD DISENGAGE DURING VEHICLE USE. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, LOSS OF FUEL WILL RESULT, PROVIDING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE. CORRECTION: COUPLING RETAINER CLIPS WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. NOTE: ESCORT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH EFI AND CFI. LYNX VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH CFI ONLY. EFI - ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION CFI - CENTRAL FUEL INJECTION
Recall 19851161,662 units in Canada
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.9 LITRE E.F.I.,V6 ENGINES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A NYLON FUEL LINE ON THE FUEL RETURN SIDE OF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY MAY CRACK AND LEAK FUEL. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE WOULD EXIST.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
CAR'S SHUDDER (A RAPID ON OFF ON KILLSWITCHLIKE) HAS WORSENED. YESTERDAY THIS OFF TIME EXPANDED TO SEVERAL SECONDS, AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AT ONE TIME THE ENGINE DIED AT 45MPH. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AS VEHICLE SPEED FELL OFF RAPIDLY. I ESCAPED COLLISION BY EXECUTING A HARD RIGHT OFF THE STREET INTO A BANK'S LOT EXIT. THIS WAS MADE DIFFICULT BY THE LOSS OF PS BOOST. THE ENGINE DID RELIGHT WITH KEY. LATER THE ENGINE SHUDDERED WHILE AT 65MPH ON I40. THIS CAR MAY BE NEEDED AT ANY MOMENT TO TRANSPORT MY MOTHER TO THE FLAGSTAFF ER AS SHE HAS A KNOWN AND CURRENTLY TREATED CARDIAC CONDITION. THIS CAR'S SAFETY EXTENDS THUS WELL BEYOND THE CAR ITSELF. I NEED RAPID ASSISTANCE.
